Golden West Café gives so much variety in their menu. They have both vegan and regular options. The food is amazing this and environment is beautiful. They have great artwork and plants

at 6:30 on a friday this place was not very busy. we were seated immediately and the staff was very nice and very attentive. i got a thai tea with almond milk which had good flavor but was pretty weak. for food, i got the vegan month special peach cobbler french toast and it totally blew me away! this was easily some of the best food i've had in baltimore. the dollop on top was some kind of vegan sweet cream. it was really delicious with a wide flavor profile (hint of banana flavor even) and i will for SURE be back. my friend got the special CBPB waffles and i tried a bit, the peanut butter cream is incredible. it's probably hard to go wrong with whatever food you get here. it was outstanding!

I recently returned to Golden West for the first time in a long time. We were planning on just getting a quick pastry or sweet treat but ended up enjoying some carnitas nachos. We sat in the back bar area in the couch section which is beautifully decorated with thriving plants. It's such a vibe! It was around 4pm so we weren't super hungry but wanted a little nosh. The carnitas nachos caught my eye. The nachos came out fairly quickly and were made with yummy, melty cheese and delicious shredded carnitas. The carnitas has so much flavor as if they had been marinated in a careful combination of spices for hours (I sensed some nutmeg or cinnamon in there maybe?). I was impressed since I know Golden West is known as a vegan friendly spot but they sure know how to prepare some delicious carnitas too. Although this was a quick stop in, it was a good reminder that Golden West is tried and true and just as good as I remember.

Love it here! Perfect for a variety of diets so everyone has something to eat. The service was fast and the food was delicious. Need to try the pick up window and dinner options

such a quirky and charming cafe with a vast menu! tons and tons of vegan and vegetarian options, as well as meat options. my friend and i both got the breakfast burrito and it was MASSIVE and soooooo tasty. my chai latte was the perfect combination of sweet and "spicy". we had great service, although it was a thursday morning and not crowded. the restaurant is quite large but there is no outdoor seating. it's definitely more of a restaurant than a cafe but i'm sure on a weekday they would let you camp out at a table with a laptop if you purchased something. parking can be a bit challenging -- there is parallel street parking on all nearby roads (and the road that golden west is on) but can fill up on the weekends. parking is fairly cheap though -- $0.50 / hour. bring your vegan / veggie friends here and they will thank you!

All my local homies love Golden West Cafe. Whether I'm coming here for a solo lunch to read my book and get a cup of coffee or tea and have a good meal or I'm taking friends that are visiting from out of town for an absolutely wonderful breakfast. I can always rely on the golden west Café. You won't find a funkier interior or staff friendlier.

I stopped here when I was in Baltimore last weekend and it was so good! I got the chicken and Brie sandwich at it was to die for! As a garlic lover the garlic fries were amazing, but buyer beware, you will need a mint after eating them. The service was lovely and was matched with a very cute interior. It felt so cozy and relaxed. We were sat at a table with a sofa and it almost felt like we were in friends at Central Perk! A must go!

Came back again for Burger & Wine night and the food did not disappoint! It wasn't crowded so we were seated right away! Our waiter was very attentive and checked in often which was nice. He also made some good drink recommendations. We had the Beyond Nachos for an appetizer and they were so good. I'm not vegan but these would definitely make me consider switching over lol. The cheese sauce had a great taste. I ordered the Hangover Burger for my meal and it was so delicious. The egg was cooked perfectly, perfect portion of guacamole, and they gave me plenty of bacon! Definitely recommend this place for everyone! Lots of options and they also have beer from local breweries on the menu!

My family and I have spent countless birthdays, date nights, dessert runs and brunch outings at Golden West. It doesn't matter when we've gone or what we've ordered, Golden West has delivered each time. To start, Golden West nails the vegan milkshake. My daughter is a fussy eater who is vegetarian but not vegan. She abhors most vegan versions of things especially ice cream. She asks to get a milkshake from Golden West each time we are in Hampden. She prefers their vanilla version. I like what they do with cookies and cream. They incorporate so many Oreos that it turns the vanilla ice cream chocolate looking. Along with milkshakes, we almost always grab coffee when passing by. They have many alternative milk options and different flavors. I usually just do an oat milk latte. For me, the allure of Golden West is their vegan chicken based sandwiches that use Little Fig Chicken, a mock chicken made locally. They offer many different menu items with this chicken. I've had a chicken and biscuit with gravy, a buffalo chicken sandwich a supremo chicken sandwich (with nozzarella sticks) and a chicken parm. You can't go wrong with the chicken and their is a lot of variety to fit whatever your vegan preference is. Golden West also crushes the buffalo cauliflower, vegan waffles and french toast, vegan tacos and fries. The dessert at Golden West is incredible as well. They bring in a number of different desserts from Vegan Treats in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. I've been to the Vegan Treats storefront and it is the best vegan dessert I've had. Once I learned Golden West has Vegan Treats items, I started making dessert a priority. Peanut Butter Bombs and cupcakes are my normal go to. I absolutely adore Golden West for all my vegan junk food needs.
